Hood pin
 

Anyone know where I can buy the hood pin switch for car alarms (other than car stereo shops, they charge way too much)?

A friend of mine needs one cuz his is FUBAR :D

Thanx

try sayal or global electronics

CT might even have it

just get a mercury switch installed at lockdown, hood pin switches suck.

oh great here we go...

I guess I can say mercury switxhes suck too, but I don't have proof or an explanation to back up do I...dats what I thought.

hood pin switches suck because they corrode and have to be adjusted over and over again so that they still work properly. a Mercury switch is cheap and u dont have to worry about corrosion ruining the connections etc.

yes but you a hood pin will go off as soon as the hood is opened slightly, with a mercury switch you could put your hand under and rip it out if it was placed up front, so it has its disadvantages as well

yeah thats why you put it near the hinge and its a very minimal difference in how much the hood has to be lifted for them to go off. Id rather have something i know will work then have something that could have corroded and not work if a thief pops my hood.

IF someone knows you have a mercury switch and exactly where to look for it then chances are a hood pin isnt gonna make it any better.

thats not the point

he asked where to get a hood pin not a mercury switch

Well for approx. $5 more u can get a mercury switch. Also he said his friends is "FUBAR" which could be because its corroded or maybe it just broke. In any case you can get them for a good price from any of our affiliates, if like $10-15 is too much then i guess you can shop around?

Slvr-Bullet, just PM our affiliates for price quotes and addresses.

any stereo or alarm shop will have them, even radio shack shoud too!!! try future shop/best buy as well as they do alarm installs and should have a pile around there

go to selective sound they are one of the TCC affiliates
ask for Davis
